plumbing question, 23 ft Cape Cruiser

boatyard winterized the water system and now when I turn on the water pump, it pumps from the holding tank directly overboard (i.e. not to the galley sink)..Anyone know where the valve is that would redirect water to the sink, not overboard (probably same set up as a C-Dory Venture 23). Thanks

By overboard, do you mean into the cockpit from the freshwater wash down connector?
I have the same model/year and there is no valve in mine, just a T-connection from the pump to both the freshwater wash down connector in the cockpit and the galley sink. The wash down connector is similar to a compressed air connector and relies on the spring/ball inside the connector to seal against the water pressure when there is no hose connected. If it doesn't seal, water will flow out and there will be no pressure to the galley sink.

Hope this helps...

thanks. water is flowing (gushing) out an above-water thru hull just aft of the overflow for the water tank instead of to the galley sink. Galley sink flow is much less than the thru hull flow. i'll look for the t connector at the pump or the pressure regulator downstream of the pump.

I replaced the T fitting that took a compressed air fitting for water supply to cockpit Instead I installed a regular hose bib So no more leaking and good water pressure at sink
